I have a Polish friend who works as a translator I can approach her if you have a presentation you want translated?

Hi Surfer,

I am uneasy with your posting request. You appear to have described a situation where an English speaking trainer is to deliver a competency module to a non-technical English speaker.

When dealing with assessed hazardous equipment, such as some polish abrasive wheels, I anticipate that a required level of competency needs to be achieved and validated through a formal test. Given that neither party can apparently talk at a technical level and the student may not be able to read technical warnings and specifications related to this hazardous equipment and associated replacement parts, this approach appears problematic.

I suggest that, to protect the trainer and the undertaking, a minimum criteria needs to be established for student acceptance and task pre-employment validation.

It may also be relevant to remind you that the Government is moving away from multi-language provision for signage.

Thank you for your comments, guys. I don't know the specific experience of this individual but it may be the case that he/she has a great deal of experience and training with abrasive wheels and as such perhaps just some refresher training is needed. I can't comment as I don't know the circumstances. I will pass on your thoughts to my colleague.
Cheers
